Desperation flowed through Rehan's body as he ran as fast as he could while trying to keep his footing in the swampy environment. The sounds of battle soon reached his ears as he drew closer. Hang on... I'm almost there. What a predicament he had himself in. This was supposed to just be a simple mission and ended up on a much grander scale. Which was better? Rehan couldn't answer as he continued his run.
Gray eyes took in the scene of Acacia desperately fending off the tree, which appeared to have been gravely wounded by her. Good, it no longer has them. Rehan weaved his way through the branches, thankful the tree was so focused on Acacia for the moment.
Don't mess this up Rehan... Screw this up and we all die... Closing in on the tree, Rehan could see two oozing orbs, which he assumed, were the monsters eyes. His death grip on the torch was released as he plunged it into the monsters already ruptured eyes. Fire slowly started to spread among the branches and trunk, causing the tree to thrash around madly. Rehan tried to move away, but was caught across the back by a flaming branch. The back of his shirt soon caught on fire.
